Unifi protect api & child - severe load

⚙️ Custom Apps and Drivers
,
1

Hi,

I have complete Unifi infrastructure, circa 35 cameras and I have it integrated to my Hubitat. C8 Pro - no connectivity issues.

I have set up numerous activities like pre determined PTZ presets at certain times amongst others based on alarms etc.

I have a substantial Hubitat set up with over 400 devices and all work well, I also have integration to HA to integrate with systems not easily set up directly with HE.

My issues is the sever loading when using the UnifiProtectAPI - although everything works fine and I believe all my Unifi protect firmwares are up to date, and my hubitat drivers according to HPM, UnifiProtectAPI and child devices UnifiProtectChild-PTZCamera are all up to date. in fact almost all unififi protect devices are causing a warning and severe loading.

when I disable the UnifiProtectAPI the severe laod dissapears.

Below is a snapshot of some of the warnings and was hoping someone may have an idea of where I try next.

thansk in advance.

Nick.

Which UniFi Protect integration are you using? The Hubitat provided built-in integration? Or one of the community integrations? Sounds like a community integration since you mentioned HPM.

If the latter, you’ll get better support by posting in that developer’s existing forum thread.

Yes, @user309 reached out to me in a message (I assume based on your recommendation @ogiewon, so thanks!). I saw this also after a recent Hubitat update (no driver changes in the version before, and no changes afterward before the errors started). Was driving me crazy because it all traced back to the standard Hubitat sendEvent line (which is part of code I have not changed in a long time...) until I rebooted the hub fully (not just the reboot as part of the update) and the problem went away.

Mine has been running since without any of these errors again. Not sure WHY it started and the logs told me just about nothing... but since a reboot solved it, that is what I recommended. Hopefully they will come back with it being solved.
